Acrylic nail removal system

ABSTRACT

An acrylic nail removal system includes a glove including a plurality of finger sleeves. The glove includes a palm portion and each of the finger sleeves has a tip portion positioned distal to the palm portion. A quantity of acetone is positioned within each of the tip portions.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to acrylic nail removing devices and more particularly pertains to a new acrylic nail removing device for assisting a person in removing their acrylic nails while preventing irritation to the skin while also retaining the fumes from acetone within a closed environment.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a glove including a plurality of finger sleeves. The glove includes a palm portion and each of the finger sleeves has a tip portion positioned distal to the palm portion. A quantity of acetone is positioned within each of the tip portions.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of an acrylic nail removal system according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 2.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosure taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 3.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new acrylic nail removing device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the acrylic nail removal system 10 generally comprises a glove 12, having a generally conventional glove shape, including a plurality of finger sleeves 14. The glove 12 includes a palm portion 30 and each of the finger sleeves 14 has a tip portion 16 positioned distal to the palm portion 30 and having a length of less than about 1.5 inches. Each of the tip portions 16 is comprised of a fluid impermeable material wherein the fluid impermeable material may comprise an elastomeric material. Each of the tip portions 16 includes a ring 18 positioned at a juncture of the tip portions 16 and a remaining portion of the finger sleeves 14. The rings 18 extend around the finger sleeves 14 and are resiliently stretchable and may have a smaller circumference than an adjacently positioned area of the tip potions 16 to impart constriction on a person's finger at the location of the ring 18. A remaining portion of the glove 12, besides the tip portions 16, may be comprised of an absorbent material to absorb any fluids escaping from the tip portions.

A quantity of acetone 20 is positioned within each of the tip portions 16. The acetone causes an acrylic nail 24 to release from the use's own nail as well as removes nail polish. An absorbent material 22 is positioned within each of the tip portions 16. The absorbent material 22 prevents the acetone 20 from freely flowing within the tip portions. The absorbent material 22 may specifically be positioned on an upper surface of the tip portion 16 such that it will more readily abut an acrylic nail 24.

An absorbent pad 32 is mounted on an outer surface of the palm portion 30. The pad 32 may be used as needed to capture any fluids escaping from the glove 12 or to dry any areas of the person's hands as needed.

A container 34 is provided which contains petroleum jelly. The petroleum jelly is configured to be positioned on a person's fingers before the fingers are extended into the glove 12. This will prevent any irritation to the fingers which may be caused by the acetone 20.

In use, the user will place petroleum jelly on their hands, leaving their acrylic nails 24 free of the jelly, and insert their hands into the gloves 12 so that their acrylic nails 24 come in contact with the acetone 20. After leaving the gloves 12 on for approximately 20 minutes the gloves are removed and the acrylic nails 24 removed from the user's fingers. The gloves 12 also help reduce irritating fumes from exposed to free acetone as is typically used when acrylic nails 24 are simply dipped into a container of acetone.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements. 

I claim:
 1. An acrylic nail and nail polish removal assembly comprising: a glove including a plurality of finger sleeves, said glove including a palm portion, each of said finger sleeves having a tip portion positioned distal to said palm portion; and a quantity of acetone being positioned within each of said tip portions.
 2. The acrylic nail and nail polish removal assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of said tip portions is comprised of a fluid impermeable material.
 3. The acrylic nail and nail polish removal assembly according to claim 2, wherein said fluid impermeable material is an elastomeric material.
